Hundred Islands, National Park 

The Hundred Islands National Park (Pangasinan: Kapulo-puloan or Taytay-Bakes) is in the province of Pangasinan in northern Philippines. It is located in Alaminos City, Pangasinan. The islands (124 at low tide and 123 at high tide) are scattered along Lingayen Gulf and cover an area of 18.44 square kilometres (4,557 acres). They are believed to be about two million years old. Only three of them have been developed for tourists: Governor Island, Quezon Island, and Children's Island. The islands are actually ancient corals that extend well inland, in an area previously comprising the seabed of an ancient sea. Lowering sea levels have exposed them to the surface and the peculiar "mushroom"-like shapes of some of the islands have been caused by the eroding action of the ocean waves.

It's also the third tallest building with a hole in the world (after Shanghai World Financial Center and Tuntex Sky Tower).[4] Kingdom Tower contains a total of 41 floors and 2 basement levels.[1] Kingdom Tower is owned by Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, a prince of the Saudi royal family. It is also the headquarters of his holding company: Kingdom Holding Company. The total cost of the project was US$ 400 million and the contract was taken by Saudi Arabian Al-Seif and The Italian Impregilo.
Kingdom Centre is situated on Al-Urubah Road between King Fahd Road and Olaya Road in the growing business district of Olaya in Riyadh. Kingdom Tower was the winner of the 2002 Emporis Skyscraper Award, selected as the "Best skyscraper of the world for design".

Bowling Alley in Al Khozama Hotel - Riyadh  

Have you ever imagined a bowling place in Riyadh? You think this is a way very boring place? Well, think again, because I found myself in only one of the many bowling alleys here in Riyadh. 

This place is located in Al Khozama Hotel along King Fahad road or on the other side, along Olaya Road near Faisaliyah Mall. There are 4 bowling alleys and a mini bar upon the entrance. But to remind you, there are no alcoholic beverages being sold here, as you know in Saudi. 

This place is perfect for bonding with friends and family. You can also take off your abaya for women. Furthermore, there is one billiard table in one place, and a smoking area as well. But to unavoidable situation, even if there is a smoking area, the place smells like a cigarette company, so children is not advisable to bring in my own opinion. It's better to bring a group with you so that it would be less expensive on your part to rent the whole bowling lane. The cost per game is 10 riyals, and if you want to play another game, it's automatic to go back to zero and you can start all over again. Bringing of food s not allowed and there is a corkage of 200 riyals if you dare to bring some food. You can also reserve a bowling lane ahead of time just by calling them.
